Yeah I am wondering if I killed the transmission by shifting with the converter locked or by flooring it with the converter locked for faster acceleration. I suspected that I may have ruined the TCC and the particles clogged the internal filter, so I cut the torque converter open to inspect the clutch and it looked decent. The friction material was thin, I would say about half the thickness of a credit card. However, I don't know how thick it is supposed to be, or how much of that wear was simply caused by 243K miles of driving.
